Off the yet to be released full length album, Mosaic of Sound; The American Typewriter, this is one of my latest original songs, currently released as a single. I played around with several different titles before finally deciding to go with 'Slamming Doors'. I attempted 'We Are Strong' for obvious lyrical reasons, before I realized it was starting to remind me too much of Pat Benetar's classic, 'Love is a Battlefield'. I'm thinking I made the right choice by then cutting it down from its newer longer title, 'Sound of Slamming Doors' to its more memorable and spatially appropriate final title, 'Slamming Doors'.
lyrics
Slamming Doors
We are strong,
Like never before,
We don’t belong here,
Like we did before.
Don’t tell me,
There’s nothing wrong,
We just fight, to the sound of slamming doors.
Aah… La da da da da la da da da,
We were strong,
We were strong,
Like never before,
We don’t belong here,
Like we did before.
We just fight, to the sound of slamming doors.
We don’t belong here,
This is nobody’s home.
Aah… aah… aah...
We just fight, to the sound of slamming doors.
We don’t belong here,
Like we did before.
Don’t tell me,
There’s nothing wrong.
We’ll just keep fighting,
'Til nobody’s wrong.
Ahh…
There’s always somebody wrong.
Ahh… ahh… ahh… ahh… ahh.
Ahh… ahh… ahh… ahh… ahh.
Ohh… La da da da da da da da da da da.
We were strong.
We were strong.
Like never before.
We don’t belong here,
Like we did before.
We just fight, to the sound of slamming doors.
We don’t belong here,
This is nobody’s home.
